INFLUENZA
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Consider testing for novel influenza in patients with travel history,
avian or swine contacts
Remember influenza causes disease year-round in San Diego
Report ALL positive flu cases to Epidemiology Program
Sign up for Flu Watch
(EISB (619) 692-8499 or [email protected])
Promote early immunization of staff to be consistent with health
officer order “vaccinate or mask” Nov 1- March 31 (likely to extend!)
Promote flu immunizations to patients, especially those at risk for
increased morbidity

MUMPS
Image Credit: CDPH
Mumps - an acute viral illness caused by an RNA virus
in the Paramyxoviridae family - the only cause of
epidemic parotitis.
Parotitis – especially sporadic cases – may be due to
viruses other than mumps.
Parotitis can also be caused by Epstein-Barr virus
Human herpesvirus B6 (the cause of roseola)
Cytomegalovirus
Parainfluenza virus types 1 and 3
Influenza A virus
Coxsackieviruses and other enteroviruses
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus
Human immunodeficiency virus
Staphylococcus aureus
Nontuberculous Mycobacterium
MUMPS
Prodromal symptoms are nonspecific, may include myalgia, anorexia,
malaise, headache and low-grade fever.
Unilateral or bilateral swelling of one or more salivary glands, usually the
parotid glands (parotitis), which occurs in 30%-40% of infected persons.
Parotitis tends to occur within the first 2 days and may be first noted as
earache and tenderness on palpation of the angle of the jaw.
Symptoms tend to decrease after 1 week and usually resolve after 10 days.
40-50% may only have nonspecific or respiratory symptoms.
Up to 20% are asymptomatic.
MUMPS - SYMPTOMS
Orchitis (testicular swelling) is a common complication and may
occur in as many as 50% of postpubertal males.
Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is common but
fewer than 10% have symptoms of CNS infection.
Other rare complications include arthritis, mastitis,
glomerulonephritis, myocarditis, endocardial fibroelastosis,
thrombocytopenia, cerebellar ataxis, transverse myelitis,
ascending polyradiculititis, pancreatitits, oophoritis, and hearing
impairment.
Mumps during the first trimester is associated with an increased
rate of spontaneous abortion, but although mumps virus can cross
the placenta, there is no evidence that this results in congenital
malformation.
MUMPS - COMPLICATIONS
Mumps exposure
Unprotected face-to-face (<3 feet) contact with an infectious person
for at least 5 minutes.
Incubation period
Usually 16 to 18 days, but cases may occur 12 to 25 days after
exposure.
Period of communicability
Communicability is probably highest from 2 days before to 5 days
after onset of parotitis; mumps virus has been isolated in saliva from
7 days before through 9 days after onset of swelling.
MUMPS - EXPOSURE
Live-attenuated mumps vaccine is given as part of measles, mumps
and rubella (MMR) vaccine in the U.S.
Post-licensure data estimate the effectiveness of 1 dose of mumps
vaccine at approximately 80% (64%-95%) and two doses at 90%
(88%-90%).
In recent large outbreaks, mumps infections have occurred in many
persons with a history of 2 doses of MMR
IMMUNIZATION
LAB TESTING
Acute mumps infection can be laboratory confirmed by: the presence of serum mumps IgM,
a significant rise in IgG antibody titer in acute- and convalescent-phase
serum specimens,
positive mumps virus culture, or
detection of virus from a buccal specimen by reverse transcriptase
polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
Serologically confirming mumps in an immunized person may be
challenging : IgM response may be absent or short lived
studies have shown that individuals with detectable mumps IgG titers
have still developed mumps infection.
LAB TESTING
Unimmunized: buccal specimen & acute blood specimen should be
collected; a convalescent specimen may be requested.
Immunized: buccal specimen should be collected; acute and
convalescent blood specimens may also be submitted for IgM testing
and/or detection of IgG rise. Collection of a buccal specimen within 1
to 3 days of parotitis onset is optimal, however virus may be detected
for up to 9 days after parotitis onset.
Status unknown: buccal & blood specimens should be submitted.
Immunization status of the patient should be clearly indicated on the
laboratory submittal form.
Outbreak: buccal specimen is the preferred specimen for testing.
Neither mumps vaccine nor immune globulin (IG) is effective
for mumps postexposure prophylaxis.
However, MMR vaccination of exposed persons who have
had less than two doses of mumps containing vaccine is
recommended unless otherwise contraindicated, because if
the current exposure does not cause infection, vaccination
should induce protection against subsequent exposure(s) to
mumps, measles or rubella.
Third MMR booster for those with basic series in
college/university outbreaks – useful in outbreak situation

MUMPS
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Consider mumps in patients with parotitis, especially in college-
age individuals and international travelers
A correctly obtained buccal specimen for PCR testing is the best
test for mumps – contact the Epidemiology Program for timely
assistance
Be aware of mumps outbreaks in other countries (Honduras,
some Mexican states, Nepal, China, Japan, etc)
All international travelers should have two doses of MMR
Sign up for Monthly Communicable Disease Reports
(EISB (619) 692-8499 or [email protected])
HEPATITIS A
Image Credit: CDC
Primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route
Incubation period ranges from 15 to 50 days
(mean 28 days)
Period of communicability from two weeks before
through one week after the onset of jaundice or
elevation of liver enzymes
Virus viable outside body for months, depending
on environmental conditions
HEPATITIS A OVERVIEW
HAV virus inactivated by:
Heating to >185˚ F (>85˚ C) for one minute
Routine water chlorination
1:100 dilution of household bleach to water on surfaces
Quaternary ammonium formulations with HCl
2% glutaraldehyde
Alcohol-based hand sanitizer not effective, need
soap and running water
Vaccination with the full, 2-dose series of Hepatitis A
virus vaccine is the best way to prevent infection

PERTUSSIS
Image Credit: CDC
PERTUSSIS - BASICS
Highly contagious respiratory infection caused by
Bordetella pertussis
Primarily a toxin-mediated disease
Bacteria attach to cilia or respiratory epithelial cells
Cyclic (peaks every 2-5 years)
Most poorly controlled VPD
PERTUSSIS - BASICS
Transmission occurs by close contact via droplets
Very contagious: approximately 90% of
susceptible household contacts become infected
Immunity wanes after vaccination or disease
92-95% of population must be immune to eliminate
transmission
Infants ≤ 1 year of age are most vulnerable
Adolescents & adults transmit disease to infants
PERTUSSIS - BASICS
Incubation Period 7 – 10 days (range 5 – 21 days)
Infectious Period
Persons ≥ 1 year of age = from onset of cold-
like symptoms until after 5 days of treatment or
until 21 days after cough onset if no (or partial)
treatment is given
Infants < 1 year are
considered infectious
for 6 weeks without
treatment
Catarrhal stage 1-2 weeks
Paroxysmal cough stage 1-6 weeks
Convalescence weeks to months
PERTUSSIS - STAGES
PERTUSSIS - SYMPTOMS
Cold-like symptoms
Coryza
Sneezing
Occasional cough
Fever usually absent or minimal
Stage lasts for about 1-2 weeks with cough gradually
becoming more severe
Catarrhal
Stage
PERTUSSIS - SYMPTOMS
Spasms of severe coughing followed by a sudden
deep inspiration
Characteristic “whooping” sound
https://www.soundsofpertussis.com/
Post-tussive vomiting common in all ages
Illness may be milder in previously vaccinated
people
Paroxysmal
Stage
PERTUSSIS - SYMPTOMS
Coughing, whooping and vomiting decreasing in
frequency and severity
Paroxysms may recur with subsequent respiratory
infections
Classic pertussis is 6-10 weeks, but may last longer
in some people (100 day cough)
Convalescent
Stage
PERTUSSIS – YOUNG INFANTS
Initially mild cough, runny nose, no fever
Develops into serious symptoms:
May gag, gasp or stop breathing (apnea)
Face may turn blue, purple or red (cyanosis)
Post-tussive vomiting
May not have noticeable cough or “whoop”
Seizures
Respiratory distress
Pneumonia
PERTUSSIS - BASICS
Adolescents and adults
Disease is often milder than infants and children
Infection may be asymptomatic or present as
classic pertussis
Adults may describe intermittent
Older persons often source of infection for
children
PERTUSSIS – TREATMENT
Azithromycin – 5 days (most effective/common)
Erythromycin – 14 days (7-14 days infants ≥6
months & children)
Clarithromycin – 7 days (not recommended for
< 1 month of age)
Bactrim/Septra – 10-14 days
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)
is
SAME AS TREATMENT.

PERTUSSIS
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Consider pertussis in any patient with classic presentations,
persistent cough, or cough complaints out of proportion to
exam
Recognize the challenge of diagnosis in young infants
Encourage all patients to be up-to-date with pertussis
vaccination, especially pregnant women!
Presumptive treatment is cost effective, but test when infants
and/or pregnant women are in the household and when
outbreaks are suspected to facilitate public health actions.
PRIORITY CONTROL STRATEGY EVERY PREGNANT WOMEN RECEIVES

EVERY PREGNANCY AT 27-36 WEEKS EGA!
VARICELLA
Image Credit: AAP
VARICELLA: CLINICAL FEATURES IN UNVACCINATED CASES
Prodrome of fever, malaise, headache, and abdominal pain 1-2 days before rash
Rash involves 3 or more successive crops over several days
Each crop usually progresses within less than 24 h from macules to papules, vesicles, pustules and crusts so that on any part of the body there are lesions in different stages of development
Rash usually starts on face and trunk, then spreads to extremities
Rash usually involves 250-500 lesions that are pruritic
Lesions are typically crusted 4-7 days after rash onset
CDC. Prevention of Varicella. MMWR 2007; 56(No. RR-4); Arvin Clin Microb Rev 1996; Vaccine 5th Edition
VARICELLA: CLINICAL FEATURES IN VACCINATED PERSONS
Breakthrough varicella: infection with wild-type varicella disease occurring > 42 days after vaccination
15-20% of one-dose vaccinated persons may develop varicella if exposed to VZV
Usually milder presentation than varicella in unvaccinated cases
Usually low or no fever
Develop < 50 lesions
Experience shorter duration of illness
Rash predominantly maculopapular rather than vesicular
25-30% of breakthrough varicella cases are not mild and have clinical features more similar to varicella in unvaccinated persons
Chaves J Infect Dis 2008; Arvin Clin Microb Rev 1996; CDC. Prevention of Varicella. MMWR 2007; 56(No. RR-4)
Image Credit: CDPH
Breakthrough Varicella
VARICELLA: COMPLICATIONS
Bacterial superinfection of skin lesions
Pneumonia (viral or bacterial)
Central nervous system manifestations (meningoencephalitis, cerebelllar ataxia)
Hepatitis, hemorrhagic complications, thrombocytopenia, nephritis occur less frequently
Increased risk for complications Adults
Immunocompromised persons
Pregnant Women
Newborns
CDC. Prevention of Varicella. MMWR 2007; 56(No. RR-4); Arvin Clin Microb Rev 19
Image Credit: CDC
Hemorrhagic Varicella
VARICELLA: TRANSMISSION
Transmitted person-to-person by direct contact, inhalation of aerosols from vesicular fluid of skin lesions of acute varicella or zoster, or aerosolized respiratory tract secretions
Incubation period: 14-16 days (range: 10-21 days)
Period of contagiousness: 1-2 days before rash onset until all lesions crusted or disappear if maculopapular rash (typically 4-7 days)
Varicella in unvaccinated persons is highly contagious (61-100% secondary household attack rate)
Varicella in one-dose vaccinated persons half as contagious as unvaccinated cases
CDC. Prevention of Varicella. MMWR 2007; 56(No. RR-4); Arvin Clin Microb Rev 1996; Seward JAMA 2004; Vaccines, 5th edition
POST-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS
Varicella vaccine is recommended for use in susceptible
person after exposure to varicella
70%-100% effective if given within 72 hours of exposure
Not effective if >5 days but will produce immunity if not
infected
VariZIG ® is recommended for non-immune persons at risk
for complications
Give as soon as possible within 10 days of exposure
Very expensive
125 units/10 kg body weight up to 625 units (4 vials)

Rash illness, historically childhood infection with 2-4
year epidemic cycle; most cases in winter and spring
Complications may include otitis media, pneumonia,
encephalitis, miscarriage, and death
Airborne spread - probably the most infectious
communicable disease; R0 =15-18
MEASLES - BASICS
Two doses of MMR vaccine offer >99% protection
from disease; however, requires very high population
immunity to interrupt transmission (92-95%)
No endemic transmission in the U.S. at this time –
declared eliminated in 2000
MEASLES - BASICS
COMMUNICABILITY
MEASLES CLINICAL FEATURES
Prodrome – onset 8 to 12 days after exposure
(range=7-21 days)
Stepwise increase in fever to 101º F or higher
Dry cough, coryza, conjunctivitis
Koplik spots (rash on mucous membranes)
MEASLES CLINICAL FEATURES
Rash
2-4 days after prodrome, 14 days after exposure
Maculopapular, becomes confluent (not itchy,
except late in rash)
Begins on face and head (not on face, not
measles!)
Occurs with fever
Persists 5-6 days
Fades in order of appearance
Koplik spots in mouth due to
pre-eruptive measles on day 3 of illness.
Classically described as appearing like
"grains of salt on a wet background."

*Based on 1985-1992 surveillance data
Serum measles IgM antibody positive test result (may be negative in
the first 72 hours)
Significant rise in serum measles IgG antibody between acute and
convalescent titers
Isolation of measles virus from clinical samples (blood, urine or NP
secretions)
Detection of viral RNA by reverse transcription polymerase chain
reaction (RT-PCR).
ALL CASES OF SUSPECTED MEASLES SHOULD BE REPORTED
IMMEDIATELY TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WITHOUT
WAITING FOR RESULTS OF DIAGNOSTIC TESTS.

TREATMENT
No specific antiviral
treatment available
Vitamin A once daily for 2
days – World Health
Organization (WHO)
recommends for all
children with acute
measles, regardless of
their country of residence.
Supportive
POST-EXPOSURE
PROPHYLAXIS
MMR vaccine may be given <72 hours of
exposure to persons ≥6 months of age
with 1 or no documented doses of MMR,
if not contraindicated.
Immune globulin (IG) may be given to
exposed susceptible people* of any age
≤6 days of exposure to prevent infection
(* = infants <12 months, pregnant women
without evidence of measles immunity,
severely immunocompromised persons.)
CALL COUNTY!
Infectious Period: 4 days before rash onset through 4 days
after rash onset (day of rash onset is day 0)
Incubation Period: 8-12 days after exposure (day 0) and rash
onset is typically 14 days (range 7-21 days) after exposure
Exposure: sharing the same airspace with an infectious person
(during the 4 days prior through the 4 days after rash onset) =
same classroom, home, clinic waiting room, airplane, store,
etc. up to 2 hours after the person was present.
